The upcoming challenge is for WCG crunching, our TPU Team vs other WCG Teams, but our TPU crunching and folding Teams help each other out with these challenges.

Prizes are internal for WCG-TPU Team members... donated "by crunchers for crunchers" and this time around we have a very special prize donated for a dedicated TPU folder (the Titan ). TPU folders who assist with us crunching are elligible for all of the prizes and any TPU cruncher or folder is welcome to participate in our game giveaway during the challenge if they are active.

Watch my sig for the challenge thread link when it goes live next week to see all of the rules and prizes, etc... Also, your welcome to browse our past challenges to see how they went*

Crap, heat is starting up here.. and I can't do AC until July due to finances. I'm pumping out until I hit 20mil, and beyond as far as I can, but my 480 is just getting too hot....
Next round, 6xx series cards......

Did anyone notice the wind of me passing him must of woke up iFX? He's pumping out again.... and wheee, after a 6 or so month absence I finally nailed my 20mil. It's getting mighty hot in here in the day though, so I may switch to night folding, as least until the hot weather hits....

If you're not crunching on the i3, I think it's more than enough CPU for an AMD GPU.

Sure, and I'm sure the CPU part of the WU will go (a little) faster at 3,1 Ghz than on 2,67 Ghz. Anyways +15% PPD for no extra energy or HW investment is nice. I had a meter on one of my rigs and I didn't notice an increase in consumption.

Question: Is there a chance that running 1-2 threads of WCG on that i3 might actually increase Folding? If the CPU is doing something, it will be at full speed. If it's idling, it will clock down. I know the response time to clock back up is very short. Just wondering.
